Why is it taboo to compliment a woman on her breasts? #1

Hmmm?

I have been able to do it once. I just straight up told her:

"Please do not take this the wrong way, but you have beautiful breasts!"

She blushed, smiled and said thank you.

I know lady-gaf might find this thread very offensive, but I am not trying to insult you.

I can pretty much compliment a woman on anything, but when it gets to that the creep alarm goes off.

help me-help you!

Is this a "why do woman show cleavage if they don't want you to look" type thing?

And what's the deal with shopping carts, I always get the one with one bad wheel, furthermore

Never thought it was a taboo, I always compliment bums and breasts if I'm acquainted to the lady and they do really catch my eyes.

When I was around 13-14 years old, I was on a lazy river at a water park. This guy came up to me and told me that if I don't stop looking at his girlfriend's boobs he would take me out of the pool, light me on fire and cut me in half. My slightly older brother was there and we assured him that I did no such thing. I was traumatized at the end of the conversation and my brother was probably moreso. He started crying after the guy left and I was sick to my stomach. After we got out of the pool my brother asked me if I WAS looking at her and I swore my life that I wasn't. That is why I would not compliment someone on their boobs.

BTW I lied. I was totally looking at them for probably around five minutes straight.

I think you're better off using "boobs" in this situation. It's a softer, sillier word.

Unwanted sexual advances are uncomfortable. Breasts are the most sexual body part typically "on show" when you're out and about, so any comment on them by a stranger will (depending on the context) be viewed as a serious breach of good taste and decency.

Basically, it's like saying to a woman out loud that you've been ogling her breasts and that (if you're a straight male) this excites you sexually. Whether this is true or not and whether the woman in question craves this kind of attention, saying it out loud makes it look like something is wrong with you.

breasts are commonly the focus of sexual desire and arousal for heterosexual males in our society and so it seems lecherous to specifically compliment them on it.

It's only ok if you're complementing your significant other, or if you're pulling "cocky mode" when you're hitting on a girl (and you do it under the pretense of being a rascal/joker).

I could see some women being ok with it, but it's not worth the potential backlash.

It's one of those unspoken things. Women with a nice rack (who show it off) know they have it, and they know men notice it. Best to just leave it unsaid 99% of the time.

Do that to a lady that doesn't get much attention: got a shot at not being offended

Do that to a lady that gets constant attention and stared at all the time by weirdos just like you: not a chance


And prefer to call them mammorial protrusions ala Frank Zappa. I don't care if mammorial is not a word, it should be and it's hilarious.

Surely then it is far less creepy to compliment a woman's feet or elbows. I'll try this tomorrow.

I think it's because it's too overtly sexual, comes across a sleazy. To comment on her eyes or something is cool, to comment on her breasts implies sexual thought.

I told a random female shop assistant the other day that she had beautiful smile. She blushed, glanced away, and bit her lip slightly. I think she appreciated it, I got a very shy "thank you" and another flash of her smile. Everybody wins!

She had a kickass rack too by the way.
